Determining Your Dominant or Master Eye

Just
as you have a dominant hand, you also have a dominant eye. You need to aim
with the dominant—or master—eye for the most accurate shooting.
Usually your dominant eye is the same as your dominant hand, but not always.

To determine your dominant eye:

Form a triangular opening with your thumbs and forefingers.

Stretch your arms out in front of you.

Focus on a distant object while looking through the triangular opening and keeping both eyes open.

Bring your hands slowly to your face, keeping sight of the object through
the opening; the opening will come to your dominant eye naturally.

If you’re not sure, close one eye at a time. The weak eye will see the
back of your hand; the strong one will be focused on the object in the triangle.

Remember…

Good vision is the foundation for good shooting and hunting safety. Have your eyes examined on a regular basis.

Hunter's Tip

If you are color-blind, you should be especially cautious
when hunting. You may not be able to distinguish the fluorescent orange
clothing of other hunters nor the color markings that help identify game.
